Rather hilariously this morning, my mom and I were driving my dad to work when I told mom that Hazelnut wanted me to head over at around 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. My dad had no idea what we were talking about - he didn't realize I was going to be gone this weekend, even though I've been planning my trip for almost a year! Also exciting, to me at least, was the realization yesterday that we have a second litter of wee baby bunnies inhabiting the backyard. I was watering the hostas, when BANG - this itty bitty fluff ball came barrelling out from under the plant, saw me, turned around mid stride and dashed into the neighbor's yard. Nick spotted him again this morning, so we all headed out to see him. So precious.
For Esbat today, I'm listening to some of my favorite Pagan tunes and watching some Youtube videos by other Pagan web-goers. One in particular has me interested - creating a travel altar. I'm familiar with the concept: a small, portable altar tucked in a purse, bag, or even a tin, containing all the basics for a ritual. I have a very basic version that I kept in my school locker last year, but I got some great new ideas and now I'm considering expansion options.

A travel altar could include:
- A cloth to set everything up on
- A God/dess representation (statues, two stones, two tea lights, etc.)
- Small vials for salt, water, sand, etc.
- A feather
- Miniature wand
- A pocket knife (for an athame)
- Tarot Cards or other small divining set
- A few other tea lights or birthday candles
- Matches
- A sea shell
- A mini broom for a besom (many stores sell these and brushes with their larger counterparts)
- A small notebook for journaling
- A small crystal
